Exodus 25:1-30

Webster^{(i) 1} And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. ³ And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver and brass, ⁴ And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair. ⁵ And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood. ⁶ Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, ⁷ Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breast-plate. ⁸ And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. ⁹ According to all that I show thee after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its instruments, even so shall ye make it. ¹⁰ And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its hight. ¹¹ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold around it. ¹² And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. ¹³ And thou shalt make staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. ¹⁵ The staffs shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. ¹⁶ And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. ¹⁷ And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. ¹⁸ And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy-seat. ¹⁹ And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends. ²⁰ And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; towards the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. ²¹ And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. ²² And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the children of Israel. ²³ Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its hight a cubit and a half. ²⁴ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make to it a crown of gold around it. ²⁵ And thou shalt make to it a border of an hand-breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it. ²⁶ And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet. ²⁷ Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table. ²⁸ And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. ²⁹ And thou shalt make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its bowls, to cover it with: of pure gold shalt thou make them. ³⁰ And thou shalt set upon the table show-bread before me always.
